How youth tourism works in Moscow

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The number of young travelers is growing in Moscow. According to the capital's Tourism CommitteeAlmost a third of all visitors from Russian regions are aged 18 to 34. This age group is also growing among foreigners: in 2025, 56 percent of tourists in this age group visited the city from India, 53 percent from China, and 45 percent from the Middle East.

"In our experience, group excursion tourism tends to appeal to an average age of 45 and older, or to school tours where parents choose the program for their children. Young people aged 18-34, on the other hand, prefer independent travel tailored to their needs and simply want to spend time in Moscow. They only turn to tour operators in exceptional cases, through their hotels. For example, this New Year's Eve, there was high demand for a program celebrating the New Year with Snegurochka (the Snow Maiden)," shared a representative of the tour operator Tari Tour.

A trend toward aesthetics and interest in old Moscow

According to the guide Anastasia ShulginaYoung people are seeking vibrant experiences, perceiving Moscow as a city of opportunity and a tourism capital. Russian travelers are drawn to the historic center—they want to see Red Square on their first visit, familiar from the May holiday broadcasts and the chimes of the clock on New Year's Eve. Young Muscovites actively involved in tourism want to discover a different side of the capital: turning off Tverskaya Street into quiet side streets or wandering through the courtyards near Arbat.

Aesthetics is among the key trends. This is reflected in the demand for photo tours, as well as for locations featured in bloggers' stories and videos.

In winter, the guide notes a rise in event tourism, with millions of young people coming to participate in festivals and Christmas markets. In summer, in addition to year-round cultural and educational tourism, sporting tourism gains momentum, from free outdoor workshops to bike parades and mass runs.

"For today's youth, travel isn't just a vacation, but rather a journey in search of meaning, self-discovery, and truth. It's not about stepping out onto the streets in elegant style, but about understanding our cultural code. Many of the people I work with prefer Moscow to other cities because it has it all. In the capital, European aesthetics and Asian flair, historical memory and the frenetic pace of the metropolis, intertwine in a whimsical pattern. And everyone finds something they're interested in," added Anastasia Shulgina.

Guide Petr Posmakov maintains social media accounts, and the majority of his clients are tourists under 35, who fall into two broad categories. The first group appreciates the living history of old Moscow—travelers enjoy routes along Ivanovskaya Gorka, Taganka, and the German Quarter. The second group prefers the city's festival-filled and decorated atmosphere; guests attend events organized by various projects. Winter in Moscow orSummer in Moscow, are interested in the gastronomic program.

Digital services and conceptual environment

According to the front desk at the three-star Izmailovsky Park Hotel, travelers aged 18–34 often stay for one to three nights. Younger Russian tourists, compared to travelers aged 45 and older, rarely ask reception for advice on attractions, more often relying on online maps and recommendations. Meanwhile, foreigners are quite willing to browse printed materials with information about Moscow.

A representative of the StandArt design hotel explained that this audience accounts for approximately 30 percent of the total number of guests. While Russian citizens travel primarily for business, foreigners, often from the Middle East, come to experience Moscow's history. Regardless of the purpose of their trip, they are flexible and mobile, value speed and simplicity. For them, a hotel is more than just a place to sleep, but a place with a philosophy and concept where they can experience the local culture, become part of the community, and contribute to environmental stewardship.

This five-star hotel believes in customer-centricity and personalization. Young people tend to avoid face-to-face interactions and do everything online, preferably in no more than three clicks—from booking a room to ordering food and choosing a pillow type. Service delivery should be as seamless and automated as possible.

Based on the design hotel's experience, guests aged 18-34 prioritize sufficient power outlets for all their gadgets and a smart home system for controlling lighting and air conditioning. High-speed Wi-Fi is a default option, especially for those who combine work and leisure (bleisure travelers). A stylish and photogenic interior is also important, as many are active on social media.

Moscow City Tourism Committee is building a sustainable brand for the capital as one of Russia's leading tourist destinations. Year-round, Mosturism creates events that bring together residents and visitors, expanding the city's calendar with new activities. In winter and summer, Muscovites and tourists can immerse themselves in another era at the festival's historic venues. Moscow Estates, experience the capital's tea traditions at the "Moscow Tea Party," or sample the "Moscow Breakfast" at one of the hundreds of participating restaurants.

Moscow schools will be able to choose their design during renovations.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Two new designs were unveiled in Moscow. My School projectNow, Moscow schools undergoing renovation under the program will be able to independently choose the design of their facades and interiors. Several design options have been developed for them—with turquoise, orange-green, or yellow-green accents. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"Several years ago, the capital launched a large-scale renovation program for school buildings, "My School." This program will allow us to modernize all schools, which are already outdated and outdated, in the coming years. We took a fresh approach to space management, ensuring that the new environment would foster productive learning, creative development, and meaningful recreation, while also being welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. When renovating the first 55 schools, we used a design with turquoise and light green accents. But as the project progressed, we realized there was a need for a greater variety of color schemes, so that each school could choose an option that best suits its spirit and established atmosphere. The program now offers two new color schemes—with orange-green or yellow-green accents," the Deputy Mayor explained.

The interior spaces will be decorated in calm, muted tones, with vibrant accents provided by acoustic panels, furniture, and design elements.

"Calm, muted colors in school interiors help students concentrate better in class. They don't distract or overload the eyes, creating a comfortable learning environment. This palette is especially important for younger students: it creates a feeling of comfort and safety. Bright color accents in the recreation areas, on the other hand, help students refocus. During breaks, such colors encourage communication, play, or relaxation, sparking interest in the surrounding space and a desire to explore the school environment," noted Oksana Korchagina, educational psychologist at the City Psychological and Pedagogical Center.

Dozens of renovated schools will open in the capital by September 1, 2026. To create the most comfortable environment for children, every detail has been carefully considered—from clear and intuitive navigation to comfortable furniture in the hallways.

Educational institutions will receive modern classrooms, laboratory and research facilities equipped with digital microscopes, 3D printers, and mini-greenhouses, as well as IT training areas with robotics kits. The new equipment will allow schools to offer additional clubs and sections.

The recreation areas will feature upholstered furniture, cushioned windowsills, and brightly colored lockers for personal belongings. Drinking fountains will be installed on each floor. Traditional libraries will be replaced by stylish media libraries, and the assembly halls will be replaced by bright, multifunctional atriums.

The gyms will be equipped like those in the best sports complexes. For example, they will feature special parquet floors with shock absorption. Lunch areas will be organized like modern cafes. In school grounds, the sports fields will be renovated, play areas for children of all ages will be created, comfortable benches will be installed, new lights will be installed, scooter and bicycle parking spaces will be provided, and additional trees will be planted.

Moscow Mayor's Program My SchoolThe program was launched several years ago. Its goal is to make educational spaces modern and functional. Fifty-five buildings have already opened following the renovation.
